It’s a crazy time right now, and folks are hunkering down to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. But we think “sheltering in place” and “social distancing” are much more bearable with a good book. In April, we asked you to tell us your top five “desert island,” or in this case, “self-quarantine” science fiction or fantasy novels. Congrats to Rich Bussom!

1. Old Nathan by David Drake
2. Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
3. Dune by Frank Herbert
4. On Basilisk Station by David Weber
5. Peshawar Lancers by S. M. Stirling
